The article doesnt really give you a sense of what the frustration is until you look at a map. I'm surprised it's not in the article.

The map you shared doesn't give me this sense. It appears to be straight-forward in the US. From the map, I can't see why you would need to go to Canada first, to get to the rest of the US.
Ubuntu is a pretty good substitute for macOS. My key issue with Linux is the small selection of productivity apps: markdown editors, code editors, drawing packages, password managers like 1Password. Feature rich terminal apps like iTerm2. Well designed Git UI clients like Tower etc.
The rest is pretty good. Like the core UI, file manager, virtual desktop management, configuration etc works very well. Much nicer than the Windows mess.
I've been using 4k with linux for years. On large desktop screens I don't find fractional scaling to be necessary. The important text in apps that matter like terminals, text editors and browsers, chat clients, etc, has always supported scaling well. The only thing that lacked support were system dialogs and title bars. 2x was fine for those until fractional support came out in gnome recently.

Your right to something shouldn't be based on whether or not you "need" it. I'm fortunate enough to be in a state with open gyms and have nothing but respect for people who are taking risks to work out. Anyways, "needs": gym equipment has proper grips and cushioning for safe use over long periods of time. I'm less likely to blow out my back using proper form at the gym than with Macgyvered equipment at home. I need to go to the gym to use this equipment because lockdowns have caused a shortage and it's really, really, expensive to buy all the equipment yourself. You can also track and improve your performance over time with consistent incremental weights: I know that 10 additional pounds of resistance will always be 10 pounds, something that a bag of rocks can't replicate. Lastly, weight training creates a different physique to body weight training, endurance training/running, etc. You cannot decide that this physique is worth any less than the others.
Article is unclear if it's passport based or based on where you've been the last 14 days. The latter approach is more sensible and the former seems punitive and retaliatory more than anything.
I really wish this would get cleared up in the media. Surely this has to be based on recent travel history and not the passport, but that's not how it's being reported.
A few weeks ago there was news that Greece would open to tourists from China on July 1, but now they're (justifiably) saying there ought to be reciprocal opening as a prerequisite. Meanwhile no airlines are flying direct flights so it's not clear how tourists would get between the countries anyway. It's leaving travelers in really awkward situations because we can't really plan for anything.
I think the truth is most countries haven't finalized their policies yet, and that's why the reporting is so fuzzy. I suspect a lot of countries don't want to be the first to take the plunge.
In my opinion we should just reopen all the borders and enforce quarantine as the default case. For countries who want a fast track lane, they can keep waffling about how to do that, but just reopening everywhere with quarantines would at least get the travel industry moving again and give the world a framework to get things back to normal.
You can also get omega-3s from grass fed beef and pastured eggs. 3 quality eggs in the morning and I get 210mg+ DHA. The more people knew this the more demand there would be for local meat and away from factory slaughterhouses, especially now that the pandemia exposes their vulnerability. We've got workers risking disease to bring us low quality, nutrient sparse meat.
> Do we need to dig in and tear out the quote word by word now before we're even allowed to refute it?
Yes, this is a forum consisting largely of founder-engineers and words mean things. Not all bugs are spiders, not all disinfectants are bleach. Claiming the president suggested we inject bleach is disinformation, and it weakens the credibility of the rest of your argument.
Does the president bear any responsibility whatsoever for his own words, or should we treat them as oracular emanations of the divine, to be explored for meaning like the entrails of a sacrificial beast or the residues at the bottom of a coffee cup?
What you are saying is disinformation. Nobody has suggested injecting bleach. Bleach is a disinfectant, not all disinfectants(i.e agents that disinfectant) are bleach. It was poorly worded enough without you spinning it, the spin only strengthens his base of people who don't trust the media because of sophistry like this.
Is there some other disinfectant that we could be injecting that would not be of roughly equal harm?
Because I don't think injecting hydrogen peroxide, benzalkonium chloride, or isopropyl alcohol is going to have an effect that's any better.
Quibbling over whether or not they meant bleach or some other disinfectant isn't really the point. The point is the President was lending credence to the idea that injecting disinfectant into the human bloodstream might be a good thing to do. Which is absurd, regardless of whether or not he specifically meant bleach, and bleach is a perfectly reasonable stand in.
OK, I went back and checked the transcript. It's true that the president didn't say the word "bleach". It's not true that "nobody" did. Trump was riffing off of a report that had just been given by Bill Bryan, listing out some anticeptic testing in an in vitro context.
Bleach was, in fact, the first disinfectant in his list. Then Trump stands up and says we should investigate injecting those into the body.
I really don't think this it's applying a whole lot of spin to argue that Trump was saying we should inject the stuff the guy he was referring to had listed.
